Style: Doppelbock
Almere, Netherlands

Serve in Dimpled mug, Stein, Stem glass

Bottle: Smell is sweet, some hops and fruit. Brown color with very small foamy head that disappears quick. Taste is sweet (sugars) just a hint of hops and some sweet fruits. It has no body and is not really balanced, so it´s quite sweet and just not entertaining enough! Didn´t like this one either, but not as bad as the Monnikbier.

I do not think this beer is "retired". the sample seems very fresh, too young even. Dark brown color. no head. Brwon sugar, syrup and molasses in the aroma. Very sweet and sugary flavor with apple syrup and molasses. Almost no carbon, no lacing. Thin. Tastes like a bad Russian dark lager.
